Additional Information
On the marriage certificate for George and Phillis George’s age is erroneously entered as 25 years, which would make the year of his birth about 1872, contrary to the year 1876 on his birth certificate. George Hamuel left Phillis and his two sons and emmigrated to New Zealand, sometime after Wilfred was born. The precise details of his life at this time are uncertain, as detailed records are unavailable. A summary is given below. According to Phillis Brown’s entry in the 1911 England census she was then still married to George Hamuel, but she and their two boys were living with her parents without him. According to George Hamuel’s death certificate he married an Emily Marshall in or about 1904 in London, and she gave birth to their daughter two years later. It has not been possible to confirm these events from the UK marriage and birth registers, however findagrave.com has a memorial for Emily Brown confirming their marriage and their joint residence at 274 Woodham Road. Emily’s death certificate reveals that her maiden surname was actually Marshallsay, and confirms the birth of their daughter. According to George Hamuel’s death certificate he emmigrated to New Zealand in or about 1907, and lived there until his death in 1919. The person registering his death was the funeral undertaker, and there is some doubt about the accuracy of the recorded facts (e.g. his mother’s maiden name was recorded as ‘Hamuel’ instead of ‘Howells’). George Cornelius Hamuel Brown and his wife Florence Mary also spent some time in New Zealand. They are listed as passengers on the M.V. “Port Vindex” that departed Wellington, N.Z., for the UK on 29 Feb 1964. His occupation is recorded as retired Station Master. George Cornelius Hamuel Brown and his wife Florence Mary had two children: Ronald G Brown born in Steyning Jul-Sep 1922, and Cyril Brown born in Steyning Jan-Mar 1930.
